Changing Amazon Registered Company
@Ezra_Amazon @Sarah_Amzn @Julia_Amazon @Spencer_Amazon
I am wondering if this sounds right, as from what I have read before others seem to have done it differently.
We are trying to change the registered company that our Amazon account is tied to. The company is owned by the same person as the last, and its basically only the company name that will change in the backend, the beneficial owner, business address and everything else remains the same. From what I had read before it seemed all you had to do was go to your business information, change your company details as well as upload the supporting documents like the articles of association and so on. We did this and it put our account into re-verification, after about a week we were asked what the reason for the change is as well as a few questions. We answered and waited.
After another week had passed we were requested by Amazon to revert all of the previous changes we made in our account information back to our old business details and instead use the "Transfer Account" option to carry out the change.
Does this sound right, and is it really necessary when the Amazon account is not changing hands? I assumed this was for other situations. Nothing is changing except for the the account being registered in another one of the Directors companies. All business operations, staff and so on remains the same.
Appreciate any insight as I am about to shortly change all this information back if I don't hear otherwise soon.

Hi @Seller_5l52N9EzbbeOx,
I’ve checked in with the partner team, and they confirmed that because you are changing from one legal entity to another (even if owned by the same person), the correct process is to use the "Transfer Account" option in Seller Central.
Before initiating the transfer, please make sure to:
- Disburse any pending funds from your current account.
- Do not change the email address linked to the account during this process.
To begin the legal entity change via self-transfer:
- Go to Settings > Account Info in Seller Central.
- Click “Transfer Account” under the Business Information section.
- Follow the automated steps:
- Confirm the current entity's business info (it will be grayed out).
- Agree to the terms and proceed.
- The current entity will be signed out and the new one can then sign in and complete verification.
Once this process is completed, the team will continue with verification of the new entity.
feel free to update us here if you run into any issues along the way.
Best regards, Ezra.
